| All Quiet at "SMC" Front! |
Just like the day after the first match, it was very quiet again at the
Centre. We just filled up the water bottles at the Media Tribute. There
wasn't much to do even during lunch time as well. Many from our team
already left by 3:30pm.

Today, Xiner sent me so many voice
messages. She was sooo cute. Reading an English passage to me. And then
asked me to talk about something nice to her and she will do the same in
return! Listen to her voice already made me melt.

| This place is foreigner friendly! |
I stayed
behind to watch the next game between France vs Switzerland. It looked
like a trend then to wear different coloured boots. And even gloves too.
Spotted the French keeper and Buffon on that!
Every four years,
the tournament seemed to have some new introduction to the game. And
this year, another pretty cool introduction was the foam spray used by
the referee to mark the wall line.

| Bart................ |

| ..................Simpsons! |
When the game ended, I met
Antonio, Bart and Hector. We decided to go to a place
called Simpsons.
Apparently, it was the best place in town for cheap food and more importantly cheap beer! One liter of Skol was only $R5!! And the food was great too. We had the Brazilian favourite, Carne de Sol (grilled beef) and some fried chicken that went perfect with beer!

| Bom Jantar, gente!! |
After a wonderful night, Bart and I walked to the bus stop together. We met a local "escort" there. She even gave Bart a treat, flashing in front of him behind the bus stand. I was jealous! That was our first experience in Brazil!
